EAST RUTHERFORD -- While the Giants' top offensive players got the night off in Friday's 20-12 loss to the Steelers in the preseason opener, rookie tight Evan Engram had a heavy workload.

The team's first-round pick logged 23 snaps on Friday. Engram got some snaps with the first-team offense, typically joining Rhett Ellison in two-tight end sets. Engram also got extensive action with the second-team offense in the second quarter and recorded one catch for 11 yards.

The rest of the Giants' draft class also got a long look in their professional debuts. Second-round pick Dalvin Tomlinson played 27 snaps at defensive tackle and was a constant presence in the backfield. Third-round pick Davis Webb got two series at quarterback late in the game and showed impressive poise.

Fourth-round pick Wayne Gallman got 16 snaps with the second- and third-teams and had 11 yards on five carries. Fifth-round pick Avery Moss got 20 snaps at defensive end with the third-team defense, while sixth-round pick Adam Bisnowaty logged 56 snaps at right tackle with the second- and third-teams.

*Plenty of established players had light workloads. Wide receiver Brandon Marshall's night was over after two snaps on the opening drive. Defensive tackle Damon Harrison, defensive end Olivier Vernon and cornerback Janoris Jenkins were done after two series.

*Darian Thompson started at free safety and played 25 snaps. That was more than most of the other defensive starters, but the Giants obviously want to give Thompson more action after he missed most of his rookie season with a foot injury. Thompson had a quiet night, finishing with one tackle.

*Middle linebacker B.J. Goodson also played 25 snaps. Goodson certainly isn't a finished product but he flashed the play-making ability that was sorely lacking from the middle of the defense last season when he broke through the line for a sack.

*Shane Smith appears to have the edge in the fullback competition. Smith started and played eight snaps compared to just one snap for Jacob Huesman, who missed his man on a lead-block. Smith also played nine snaps on special teams, while Huesman played five snaps in the kicking game.

*Undrafted free agent Calvin Munson played 29 snaps at linebacker, but the more meaningful number is the 14 snaps he played on special teams. Munson is a core special teams contributor, which could be his path to a roster spot.
